Name that seedling quiz, part 2
Now that you're all warmed
up, let's try some harder seedlings:
From top to bottom, the seedlings are carrot,
parsley, asparagus, and cosmos (a flower.) You might be able to
tell that both carrots and parsley are in the same family since they
have similarly narrow and pointed cotyledons (the tiny "leaves" you see
at the base of the plant).
Asparagus and cosmos are both more vertical, with leaves growing up
along a stem. The asparagus leaves are much narrower than the
cosmos leaves, though. (I guess I need to transplant all of these
self-seeded asparagus to a new home!)
